After 5 months of waiting, got the call for the 114060

Last December my partner bought a 39mm OP and I asked if i could be added to the wait list for a Submariner.

We kept on passing by the AD every few weeks to chat a bit about watches and establish a relationship.

Now after 5 months of waiting, I got the call yesterday and picked this up! I was worried how I would feel about it especially that I have a very small 5.5” wrist and didn’t get the chance to try one before buying.

It’s exactly as I hoped for and the wait was worth it.

Being a bit obsessive compulsive, the symmetry of the non-dated version works for me :))

Thanks you TRF members for all your advices!

I think I was lucky to get it in less than 6 months. The AD just told me to be patient. It’s hard without any specific timeframe
